Self Harm & Suicide Awareness Training

Self harm and suicide are distinct and separate acts with differing motivational factors.

Self harm is usually a coping mechanism and is more about staying alive, while someone may choose suicide to end physical or emotional pain or perhaps they have no solution to a problem.

This Self Harm & Suicide Awareness training course aims to raise awareness and understanding of these areas, both from a general and individuals view point. Attendees will be better equipped to consider events from an individual’s history, factors that might precipitate vulnerability and the function of such behaviours, to create an environment for motivational change.
